A Psychiatrist named Aimee

At the beginning of episode 2, it tells the story of a female psychiatrist named Aimee. As a psychiatrist, Aimee always has guests (patients) in her office who consult about their life problems.

Until one day Aimee arrived with a patient who had symptoms of being infected with H5G9. At the same time, Aimee's cellphone rang and there was a notification "Emergency broadcast system".

All television stations broadcast an emergency broadcast system containing information so that all residents did not leave their homes due to the increasing virus outbreak. Everyone in Aimee's office, both employees and consulting patients, panicked and ran to get home.

Meanwhile, Aimee locked himself in his office. That's when outside his office heard various sounds of chaos in the city, ranging from car crashes, gunshots to screams.

Who is Big Man's true identity?

Apparently Big Man didn't really want Gus to follow. Even Big Man had said to Gus that he was not what Gus imagined, and Big Man suggested that Gus go back to his house in the forest to stay safe. However, Gus refused and continued to follow Big Man.

From Big Man's statement, fans of the Sweet Tooth series are asking questions, who is Big Man's true identity? When it got dark, Big Man's heart began to soften and he knew Gus was following him and hiding in the bushes, finally inviting Gus to sit around the fireplace and eat together.

In this scene it is also shown that Big Man often takes pills. Speculation about the pills taken by Big Man is not anti-virus drugs but painkillers, because there is a scene when Big Man takes off his shoes and holds his leg where there is a scar on his leg.

After eating and night fell, the big man fell asleep. The next morning Big Man found the entire contents of his bag scattered. It turned out that Gus ate all the food stock in Big Man's bag, even the big man pills were also eaten by Gus because he thought the pills were candy.

Gus said that the candy (pill) tasted bad and made his stomach queasy, when Big Man was confused looking for the pill. There was only one pill left on Gus' shirt.

Big man was angry with the incident, because they had to find and collect food stocks again in order to stay alive and continue the journey. However, Gus' keen sense of smell was able to smell the presence of food around the forest where they spent the night.

Gus also pointed to a house in the middle of the forest and told Big Man that there was food there.

The house is a Yellowstone park customer service center. Big man who was waiting outside behind the bushes and ready with his weapons told Gus to go inside the house to get food and come back as soon as possible.

Gus, who managed to enter the house, was hit by a trap. It turns out that the service center house is occupied by a family consisting of mother (Bev), father (George), and a son named Rusty.

Big Man and Gus were finally invited by this family to eat together. Rusty is very interested in the horn on Gus's head and wants to touch it, but Rusty's mother forbids it and tells Rusty to come into the room.

Rusty's mother is worried because of the rumors circulating that hybrid humans are the main cause of the H5G9 virus outbreak, that's why hybrid humans like Gus are being chased by hybrid hunters. But Big Man denied the issue and said that the issue was not true.

Big Man is a football athlete

After eating together, Big Man took the time to chat with George. George recognized Big Man's face and asked if he really was a famous football player from LSU.

It turned out to be true, Big Man's profile was actually Tommy Jepperd, a football athlete from LSU who was quite famous for scoring a lot. Even if you go back to episode 1 when there was no virus outbreak, there is one scene where Dr. Singh and his wife Rani are preparing breakfast and on TV shows the face of Tommy Jepperd (Big Man) who becomes the top scorer in a football match.

George asked where Jepperd was during the virus outbreak, but Jepperd didn't want to answer and tried to forget about the bad incident. From here fans of the Sweet Tooth series were again made curious about what happened to Jepperd at that time so he tried to forget the incident.

The weather outside the house looks like there will be a storm, Jepperd asks George for permission to stay overnight until the storm subsides. Meanwhile in the forest, 4 hybrid hunters appear who are tracking Gus and Jepperd's tracks.

Is Big Man a hybrid hunter?

In another room Rusty's mother is very happy to see Rusty playing with Gus. Because all this time Rusty has no friends his age due to having to live in seclusion in the forest with his father and mother.

Even the Gus doll that Pubba made and Gus burned, was re-stitched by Rusty's mother to make it look good again. When Mrs. Rusty headed for the food storage room, she met Jepperd (Big Man) who was taking some cans of food to stock up on the trip later.

Big Man also offered Mrs. Rusty some MRE coins that could be exchanged for military food. But Mrs. Rusty refused.

Rusty's mother asks Big Man, is Big Man one of the hybrid hunters? Because Rusty's mother had seen the hunter's signature on Jepperd's chest.

Jepperd simply replied "not anymore". Jepperd also asked Rusty's mother for permission to take care of Gus, because Jepperd planned to leave Gus with their family to keep Gus safe.

When night falls and the storm is in progress, 4 hunters appear in the house who are after Gus. Jepperd who only had 2 bullets finally took a deer trap made of iron to fight the hunters.

One of the hunters managed to get into the house and met Gus. When the hunter was about to shoot Gus, suddenly a large deer shadow appeared from behind Gus. Jepperd who was behind the hunter immediately hit the hunter's head until he fell.

The next morning, Big Man and Gus were ready to go on their way to leave the Rusty family. Big Man, who had wanted to leave Gus in the Rusty family, finally changed his mind because of what happened last night. According to Big Man, Gus would be safer now with him.

Can Dr. Aditya Singh found a cure for Rani?

Elsewhere, Dr. Aditya Singh tries to treat his wife Rani, who is experiencing H5G9 symptoms again. When he opened the medical equipment, there were only 2 bottles of medicine left for 2 injections.

Dr. Aditya Singh finally decided to go see Dr. Bell in the middle of the night to ask for medicine supplies. It should be noted that during this time those infected with the virus will usually die in a matter of days.

Meanwhile, Rani has been able to survive because she was given Dr. Bell who is a co-worker of Dr. Singh is in hospital. However, the drug is only able to last for 28 days after the injection, after which the symptoms of the virus will reappear.

At the hospital, Dr. Bell gave the medicine supplies to Dr. Singh, but it was the last drug stock that Dr. Bell made. Dr. Bell told Dr. Singh said that so far the remaining medical personnel are competing to find the H5G9 anti-virus so that other divisions of treatment in hospitals such as cardiologists, cancer, etc. have stopped working.

Dr. Bell revealed that he had been suffering from cancer and had entered stage 4 so he felt his life was short and handed over his herb research book to Dr. Singh.

Dr. Bell hopes that Dr. Singh could continue the research that Dr. Bells do. Dr. Bell was sure that Dr. Singh could complete the healing drug vaccine because of Dr. Singh's determination and great desire to cure his wife Rani.

Dr. Singh, who was shocked by Dr. Bell's decision, returned to his house with the book given by Dr. Bell and told Rani about it. Singh's face looks confused, but his wife Rani still encourages her husband to be able to find a vaccine for him.

When rani took the book given by Dr. Bell earlier, and started reading it, Rani's face suddenly changed as if she was shocked and couldn't believe what she read in the notebook. What exactly did Dr. Bell in his drug research book that surprised Rani too?
